Lewisia cotyledon

Cacti and Succulents

Easily grown from seed sown onto soil surface; good drainage is required. Hybridizes readily. Propagate vegetatively by freeing offsets in spring. Hardy to zone 7, may occasionally overwinter in zone 6 if kept absolutely dry. May tolerate some shade. Note that some hybrids may not grow true from seed

Lewisia pygmaea, or little Lewisia, hardy to zone 4. Germination of Lewisias can be quite irregular, and may benefit from 4 weeks' stratification
